One local producer has released a rhythm which he said will serve as a great marketing tool for Dominica and its music.
Under the Machine Dominik Records Label, Krishna “Dada” Lawrence released the “MadrassRiddim”.
The release is a fusion of Soca and Bouyon to produce a sound which Lawrence dubbed ‘BouyonSoca.’
It features various artistes from Dominica including Halibut with his hit song “False Hair”, Hunter, Benz, and Janet Azzouz.
It features a soca artiste from St Lucia, Manitus whose song “No guns allowed” presently holds the number three spot on the soca charts on that island and is being used as theme song in an anti-violence campaign there.
Grenadian soca artistes, Valene and Skinny Banton, are also featured with their song “Ah want to whine.”
That song has also claimed the number one spot on soca charts in Grenada.
“The MadrassRiddim by its title is easily tagged to the culture and tradition of our Nature Isle, ensuring that wherever in the world the Riddim plays or gets any promotion the name Dominica must be mentioned,” Lawrence said in a release.
He said the release aims at showcasing a brand of music which is unique, yet appealing to an international audience.
“It is our belief that this new initiative will encourage increased interaction and collaboration among local and regional artistes,” according to Lawrence. “The ‘BouyonSoca’ formula as we speak is already in use by regional producers …a St Lucian producer has incorporated this formula in his production ‘Rolly Polly by Mr Killa’ from Grenada which is the hottest song in Trinidad & Tobago at present,” he said.
‘MadrassRiddim’ has received positive reviews from DJs and listeners and is available for download on Numusiczone.com
Machine Dominik will soon release another rhythm called the “Radiation Riddim” which will feature top local and regional artistes which promises to be bigger and better and is sure to be loved by all carnival lovers.

Listen to the ‘riddim’ below.
Big tune . When Weill it be out . On the street .
this madrass riddim is one of the biggest thing to come out of dominica in long time i personally think that having a riddim and various artist performing on it is the best musical marketing strategy a country ever use it’s working for jamaica,t&t,antigua & even st.lucia etc so let’s go d/a let’s give it a try
Great work, love it.
Over use of synthesized sounds and over produced. Bumps yes but too much high frequency. We got talent and we got the goods. Packaged right and we good to go.
great music dada ….the best riddim out in dominica for 2014 .continue doing your work bro…and keep giving those sweet riddims
try to make name more catching like boucaso music.
Big up my brother. Your hard work will be rewarded. Just continue doing what you do
that riddim exists allready to me; but nice song good job

Nice riddim, however what is new about this?Talk to RAH. Changing the name does not make it different.
Keep on working on it.
Big Dada… Keep pushing the music.. As Dominicans we can help market our professionals, by simply sharing that story on facebook
nice one Dada ..big move way to go..continue doing your thing..i like your style not much talk and boasting like a DJ i know..big respect for u
it’s DNO and u still afraid, lol, who’s that D.J nah???
That is a great move,I wish you guys SUCCESS;
This is the kind of versatility in really marketable rhythms that DA bands should aspire to! Love what the Grenadians did with it too!
wicked tune! keep it up
nice try mister Lawrence, but this style of riddim has been playing for a long time now, stop it, this isn’t new
if you got nothing nice to say why dont you just keep calm and shut your mouth…people like you all never seems top give credit you our local people but rather criticize .SMFH
I quoted this from the article above for the fools who appear to have a problem with comprehension:
“It is our belief that this new initiative will encourage increased interaction and collaboration among local and regional artistes,” according to Lawrence. “The ‘BouyonSoca’ formula as we speak is already in use by regional producers …a St Lucian producer has incorporated this formula in his production ‘Rolly Polly by Mr Killa’ from Grenada which is the hottest song in Trinidad & Tobago at present,” he said.
so for the person or persons that cannot read the man said that the style is already in use. But dimwits like you are generally so quick to criticise that it is no surprise you are complaining about a non-relevant issue. Alas poor u all!
Great music!
Sounds good. I like……keep up the great work!
